Location: Toledo, Ohio Posts: 13,873 | Osborns letter to all American News agencies This is my letter to all national and local news agencies, and I would ask that if anyone who reads it would like to copy it and send it on their own behalf, please do so, or write one of your own and send it.
Please help take part in making election 2008 an election we can be proud of as Americans. Quote:
Dear National and Local News Agencies,
As a news agency, do you feel obligated to bring non-biased, factual information to the public, so the public has the ability to make informed decisions regarding economic, social and political issues?
If so, why in the past and currently, does there appear to be a bias in your reporting of 2008 Presidential Canidates when your job is to INFORM, not dictate who "appears" to be most popular? Why aren't all the canidates included in each poll so that the public can truly determine which canidate is the most popular, instead of limiting the poll choices to give unfair advantage to listed choices? Would you agree to an "equal representation" policy that required you as a news network (and all news networks), to offer each political canidate meeting ballot access requirements equal time for public address, debate and questioning by the public?
I think its about time intellectual honesty play a role in reporting the news in the United States, and I am going to start a national movement to back it. Is the national media ready for truly "fair and balanced investigative journalism" without bias, spin or selective coverage?
This nation is NOT a democracy, nor merely a republic. This nation is a Constitutionally Limited, Democratic Representative Republic.
How can we have a Constitutionally Limited, Democratic Representative Republic without the Constitutional Limitations being enforced, or the representational choices being accurately and equally covered by a free-press, as a free-market requires in a nation built upon the ideals of self-government and the foundation of individual rights?
America has more than two political parties, and more than a choice between two parties. The Libertarian Party has become the third largest party in the United States almost entirely without the help of major media coverage, and the Green Party isn't far behind them.
When only 50% of American citizens eligible to vote, actually vote, that says something about how Americans feel about their lack of representation, and the lack of empowerment they feel they have to change things. Of that 50% who do vote, about 15% are swing voters, in other words "non-partisan". If 65% of the nation is not feeling adequately represented enough to vote along the major partisan lines consistently, isn't it time for the media to expose the nation to ALL of their voting choices THAT MEET BALLOT ACCESS REQUIREMENTS?
I fear as the bi-partisan polarization builds, if the media doesn't adequately inform Americans of their TRUE POLITICAL third choices, they may be inclined or compelled to turn to the next natural and historical third choice once a common belief of political usurpation is assumed by the majority of the public, which would be violent revolt, rebellion and mass protest, or random lashing out at the "political machine" as described in Orwells "1984" and so seemingly coming to fruition embodied in everything from the "War and Emergency Powers Act", "The Patriot Act", "NAFTA Superhighways", "PNAC", UN-US anti-gun campaigns directed at law abiding U.S. citizens, and so many other examples.
What role is the media going to play for 2008? A role of attempting to honestly inform and educate citizens towards voting and campaign finance reform. coupled with media referendum on equal time allotment for canidates who meet ballot access requirements for debate, campaign coverage? Or, are you going to do as you have done for years as your viewer numbers tumbled more and more as internet grass-roots media steals your stage, and rightfully so, since they provide the information you have been lacking for so long?
The campaign funding system in the United States has become a tool against the free-market, and lever to remove individual rights from all people of this nation over the last 158 years created by the bi-partisan majority, to aid the bi-partisan majority and the false choice between "the lesser of two evils" as so many regard it. As part of what claims to be a "free-press", I would think all news agencies would seek to point this out, and be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
I thank you for your time, and hopefully reply to my sincere and honest questions in a time of Great American Need.
Sincerely,
